Exegesis
Finally, the aorist apēlthan {ἀπῆλθαν | ap-êl-than} ‘have passed away’ governs the accusative substantive ta prōta {τὰ πρῶτα | ta prô-ta} ‘the former things’, providing the basis for the promised eradication of grief.
In context — Revelation 21:4
And He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; death will no longer exist, nor will there be mourning, nor outcry, nor pain, because the former things have passed away.
